A downloadable book

It’s standing still in my home

Hung across the orgy in haunted dissection

And once I saw past a lie covered with apologetics

But calling it out will only bring me down

In wild retreat, I share my bed with liquid brown

Wandering far to subside

We could never understand why you wait

Rolling in the balloon tied to my tension

I barricade the choice to let go

With the weight of every name

I drag them all through the grave

They won't ever finish running any way I pull

And the chips from the door they left through

Soothes an ache in my mouth 

And now everything I loved is gone forever

Overflowing like a tarot stripping the protection

I’ll never know what’s real

Waiting for my hands to follow

Their empty faces lay the prophet in my palms

They have my time

Keep it inside, mind in my heels

My flesh-building song 

Plead with me and stay quiet

I don’t know how to

Burn everything I don’t want to see;

Pull back in a passionate embrace

And smudge the ash into my eyes
